Formal Modeling and Analysis of Communication Spaces

Communication Spaces (CS) are intended to give a general view on communication-based systems that focuses on the actors and the relations among each other. One of the main aspects of CS is to take into account human-centric demands, e.g. adaption to environment and preferences, interpretation of content in contexts. Since most of the well-known formal modeling approaches are adequate only for specific aspects of CS, I advocate the new formal approach of Reconfigurable Algebraic Higher-Order Petri Nets with Individual Tokens (AHOI nets) in my PhD research. This approach is an integration of several different well-established modeling techniques as Petri nets, many-sorted algebras, and graph transformation techniques, intended to cover the main aspects of CS and to analyze and verify properties specific to them. As a case study, I'm working on an example modeling of the widely known Internet telephone software Skype.
